Happy Halloween

We didn't really do a costume this year. We put Brooks in brown with his bear hat & fur booties.  He was more interested in the neighbors blow up pumpkin than getting his picture taken





Go Steelers!

Brian found this sweatshirt at a garage sale for $1!! What are the chances of that?



First Snow October 26

Brooks' first snow experience. Brian took him out for just a few minutes. Brooks wasn't sure about the snow. Brian said his eyes got really big and he did this coo/grunt thing he does.

Just Like Daddy

Dressed in his jeans & flannel shirt just like his daddy. I  need to get a picture of them both in their lumberjack outfits!

Football Sunday

                             Earlier in the day playing in his super saucer (at least that's what we call it)

Sitting Up

We went in for our 6 month check up (ok it was 7 months) this past Monday and Brooks weighs 18 pounds and is 27 inches long. Last week (Oct 6th) Brooks' bottom 2 front teeth made their appearance. He was a little cranky & didn't sleep well for a couple days but overall I don't think it was that bad.

Brooks is sitting up by himself these days! Not crawling yet but he does roll to where he wants to go.

             All ready for the Hawkeye game! Go hawks! Thanks Uncle Jay for my Hawkeye gear!

Out for a walk

Halloween is almost here so we figured it was ok to dress Brooks in his orange shirt with his tiger hat & footie pants! He really likes going for walks in the carrier-he gets super fired up



We tried the slide one day at the park-Brooks wasn't so impressed with it. The swing was occupied so we didn't get a chance to try it out
